We are not aware if any leader has stated that there is cause to rejoice. In fact, we have mentioned the development as a setback. But there are positives too. The case has gone directly to a Div Bench of Delhi High Court, and has already been listed for 2nd April. An outer time limit of 6 months has been stipulated for final disposal of the matter. Let us not rejoice, but hope for a speedy solution. |

| | H A P P Y H O L I | Regional Names of Holi
Popularity of Holi can be gauged from the number of names Holi has in different states. Also of great interest is the story behind each of these names.
As one moves across from one state to another, one can surely discover the myriad shades of human emotions behind the story that goes with each of these names of holi. These stories will make you feel proud of the rich cultural diversity of India. Besides, what is to be appreciated is the underlying strong bond of unity that binds this uniquely culturally diverse country.
Even the Gods that are worshiped on Holi differ in different corners of the country. The way the festival is celebrated also differs but the spirit is same - the one of love and brotherhood. Inspite of their uniqueness in different states, the festival is considered to be the one which enhances the secular fabric of India.
Let us now unravel the traditions of Holi by learning the story behind the different names of Holi -
•Lathmaar Holi
•Dulandi Holi
•Rangpanchami
•Basant Utsav
•Dol Purnima
•Hola Mohalla
•Shimgo
•Kaman Pandigai
•Phagu Purnima Pyar ke rang se bharo pichkari,
sneh ke rang do duniya sari,
ye rang na jane koi jaat na koi boli,
aapko mubarak ho aapno ki holi.
• Wishing you and your family a very bright,colourful and joyful holi.
With love and best wishes

| | SBI Home Loan Plus-Staff-anomalies in Interest rate application | I am paying @ 14.5% floating rate of Interest on my “SBI Home Loan Plus-Staff” account.
As per Bank’s recent change in interest structure all the housing loans for all existing and new customer, the rate of interest of said loan should be 0.25% higher than Base rate of Interest (Circular No. NBG/PBU/HL-HOME LOANS/65/2011-12 DT 20 MARCH 2012 and Circular no- NBG/PUB/HL-HOME LOANS/21/2012-13, Dated 6th August 2012).
Bank's Branch Manager is not clear about the eligibility of applicability of said circular to Staff and Branch has no guideline to provide benefit of lower rate of interest to staff.
In my opinion, mere putting the word “STAFF” on the heading of the loan without proving any facility of staff is not fair. I am still paying (14.5% Interest) as during pre-amendment phase at-per with non-staff customer but now they are paying lower rate of Interest, then why not me?
Is it not injustice to a staff to debar from availing the lower rate of Interest as per Bank’s policy decision?
The case I have referred to you earlier, but all in vain, no one is caring my problem. About 4.5% is a good amount, I can not ignore the amount, so pl guide me what to do, otherwise I have no option but to go to consumer court for justice.
Thank you

With ref to the captioned letter, I know retired brigadier/cols, retired in 1979, getting pension of Rs 65000 apart from facility of canteen network, medical facilities and hospitalization. Most of them get job too. As such we are being neglected despite being organised for the last more than 4 decades. Where our Bank's retiree/brigadier/col equivalant of 1979, stands in comparision. Everybody can see it. | | | Comment: Dear Mr Nayyar,
You have rightly pointed out the glaring anomalies in our super annuation benefits as compared to the Armed forces, and for that matter in other sectors too, including civilian Govt servants. It is also true that the Govt employees do not have to organize any movement to get their benefits. Every Pay commission ensures that just before the elections.
But let us stick to our service conditions and fight within that framework. We are hopeful that as in the past, the judiciary may intervene to remove some anomalies. |

Quote" The retired judges of High Court needs to pay special allowance (Rs.10000 for CJ and Rs 8000 for others) over and above their handsom pension of Rs.50000 to Rs70000, if they are not entrusted with any other job after retirement. The Govt. has referred the matter to C&AG for their report."
At the same time our judiciary felt that a petty pension amount of Rs.10000 to 15000 to a Bank Officer, after putting 35/40 years of service,is quite high and they should not be given any human considerations.

vinay kala | | | Comment: Dear Mr Kala,
While computing the basic pension, 50% (or 40%) of the average of last 12 months' Basic salary is taken into consideration. In your case, only two months' revised salary and 10 months' old salary will be added and averaged. Then 50% of PQA and FPA is added. This is how you arrive at your Basic Pension. You may contact your local LHO (PPG) and collect the details.

| | Our Pension issues | | Now that our case has been reverted to High Court by SC, the chances are that the matter will be dragged on for ages. An angle that our Federation can look into, to my mind, is to bring the matter to public domain through Press/electronic media focusing how indifferent are the authorities concerned to issues relating to Senior citizens, notwithstanding the fact that the matter is subjudice. | | | Comment: Dear Mr Nair,
We can understand the disappointment felt by you in our case being reverted to High Court. But there are several silver linings in the judgement. It is a fact that it had been directed by another bench of Supreme Court in another case, last year that Service matter cases would not be directly heard by Supreme Court. In view of this case judgement, our case could have either been dismissed, or allowed to be withdrawn. In the first eventuality, we would have lost all recourse. In the second possibility, we would have had to file fresh petition in a single bench, wait for counter affidavits, go to Division Bench, and finally to Supreme Court on appeal by either side. This would have taken "ages".
But in our case, the matter has been transferred to a Div Bench of High Court (Delhi, by our choice) with all the pleadings, and no fresh petition or affidavit would have to be filed. Further Supreme Court has directed that High Court must finally dispose of the suit within 4 months. So, we need not lose hope.
As far as your suggestion about attracting public attention through media coverage, we may think of such simultaneous effort, though that will not bring in any concrete result. Let us wait for the Federation to take suitable steps in the matter. |

We are happy to learn that you keep yourself abreast of the latest developments for pensioners, by going through our website. We are all hoping for our accumulated prayers to be fulfilled, not by the Govt or Bank on their own, but through a

| | fixing of minimum pension based on the last salary drawn | Dear sir,
Thank you very much for replying my querry. I reproduce para 3 of corporate centre circular no.C.D.O/P&HRD-PM/8/2008-09 DATED 3/05/2008 as follows:
" It is further clarified that in respect of retirees covered by 8th Bipartite settlement who
were drawing salary above Rs.21,040/- + FPP + PQP would be as under :
40% of average basic pay + 1/2 of PQP (if any) + 1/2 of FPP (subject to a minimum of
Rs.10,520/- + 1/2 of PQP + 1/2 of FPP)"
Based on the salary drawn basic pension is
to be calculated.Pl. clarify. Kindly excuse me for troubling you again and again.
Ram | | | Comment: Dear Mr Ram,
The Circular quoted by you, is applicable to 8th Bipartite retirees, who retired between 1.11.2002 and 30.10.2007. Subsequently, the 9th Bipartite retirees who retired between 1.11.2007 and 30.10.2012, were initially given pension according to the same old formula, and later, their pension was recalculated and revised according the the revised salary data. |

It seems that the pains taken by us to upload the latest news on Supreme Court case, not only on the Welcome page but also in the "Current news" page, is not giving much benefit to you. If you have still not gone through our reports, please note that though listed on 26th, there was no hearing on that day. Today, the Court heard the Govt counsel, and ordered that the case be heard in Delhi High Court and be disposed of within 4 months, without any side having to file fresh petitions or affidavits. Let us hope for the best. |

| | FIXATION OF BASIC PENSION | Dear Sir,
Thank you for attending my doubt.I elaborate what I understood by this.
As per circular referred, first step : we should take the last drawn salary, at the time of retirement.
Second step: We should ascertain whether the B.P. is above 31500- or below 31500-.
Third Step : If it is below 31500- calculate the average of last 12 months B.P.50% of this figure is taken.Then add 50% of PQP and FPP. if there is any.This amount will be Basic Pension.
If the last drawn basic pay is above 31500- at the time of retirement,then first step will be calculate 40% of the average of last 12 months basic pay. If it is more than 15750-, then that amount will be the basic pension. If the figure is less, then the minimum of 15750- is fixed as basic pension. To this 50% of PQP and FPP added if there is any.
In both the cases basic pay at the time of retirement is the important criteria.
This aspect is silent in the revised circular issued by the bank for the 9th bipartite pensioners.Please also see circular no..CDO/P&HRD-PM/8/2008-2009 DT.3/5/2008, which is readily available in Mumbai sbi pensioners association website.
RAM.
| | | Comment: Dear Mr Ram,
Your understanding of the issue is correct. As regards the last drawn salary, allow us to clarify further. The salary is NOT the last drawn salary, but the average of last 12 months' salary. Further, the anomaly of 40% and 50% is only for officers, and award staff pensioners are given a straight 50% of their average salary. |

Our Federation has been trying to extend REMBS facilities to all pensioners, irrespective of whether they took exit option, or resigned, etc. But as things stand now, you are not entitled to REMBS facility. As regards your pension and gratuity, we do not think that you will be entitled to any revision, as you had taken exit as a 8th Bipartite retiree, and your pension was presumably fixed accordingly. Gratuity enhancement was effective from May 2010. We presume that you had left the bank before that.
If you still have some queries, please do not hesitate to refer to us through this website. |

What you have voiced, is a pending demand of our Federation, for quite some time. It is not just the frequency of DA increase. Another anomaly is the percentage of neutralization being different from that of serving employees, and being different also for different categories of pensioners. We are fighting for removal of all these anomalies. |

| | FIXATION OF BASIC PENSION | With reference to SBI Officers federation cicular no. 75. dated 11/08/2011, the following pension formula was agreed between the management and both the federations.
1 . BASIC PAY UPTO 31,500- 50% OF AVERAGE B.P. + 12 OF PQP + 12 0F FPP.
WITH PQP AND FPP
2. BASIC PAY ABOVE 31,500- WITH 40% OF AVERAGE B.P + 12 OF PQP + 12 OF FPP
PQP AND FPP SUBJECT TO MIN.OF 15,750- 12 0F PQP +12 OF
FPP.
The circular issued by the bank is silent on the fixing of cut off point i.e. 15,750- based on the last drawn salary. The bank straight away calculates the basic pension based on the average pay drawn for 12 months. This was the procedure followed before the above formula was agreed upon.
Kindly advise me the present existing procedure to be followed by the bank.
With regards,
RAM. | | | Comment: Dear Mr Ram,
The Circular instructions quoted by you are correct. First the average of last 12 months' Basic salary drawn, is arrived at. Then 50% of the same is calculated. The ceiling of Rs 15750/- is protected. For those above the Basic salary ceiling, 40% of the average salary, subject to a min of Rs 15,750/- is calculated. Then 50% each of FPA and PQA are added, to arrive at the Basic Pension payable.
We hope that the position is now clear to you. |

No individual pensioner has to apply for this. The Circle PPG has to get the pension revised on the basis of enhanced Personal Allowance, unless they have already done it. |

Thank you very much for clarification on REMBS for VRS ? exit optees.Please clarify the present position regarding Loan to SBI Pensioners also.
P K Gopalakrishnan
SBI Pensioner - Kerala | | | Comment: Dear Mr Gopalakrishnan,
We have purposely taken some time to check the latest position, before responding.
The scheme of loans for pensioners (including SBI pensioners) has been recently modified to incorporate a scheme for Affluent Pensioners, though no specific definition of the term has been given.
Pensioners below 72 years of age, and Family Pensioners below the age of 65 years, under this scheme, will be entitled to 12 months' Pension, and 9 months' pension, as a Loan, subject to a ceiling of Rs 3 lacs, repayable in 36 months, at an interest of 14.20% (present rate) with monthly rests.
You may kindly contact your Pension paying Branch, if you want further details and clarifications.

You may check up with the PPG Deptt of your Circle LHO, and find out whether the enhanced Personal Allowance has been considered for calculating the revised Basic Pension. If not, a revision of all similarly placed pensioners, has to be approved by the Trustees, on the basis of a consolidated statement to be sent by the Circle to Corporate Centre. No individual pensioner has to apply. |

Our Federation has been demanding parity among all pensioners, about the facilities of REMBS. They have argued that if the Bank has granted pension, it should not discriminate among different types of pensioners.
But as things stand now, the VRS pensioners of 2000-1, were given REMBS limit of Rs 2 lacs, and were not allowed to get it enhanced later. The Exit optees of 2006, were told at the outset that they would not be entitled to REMBS, and the position has not changed as yet. Apart from these two categories, there are many who have resigned from the Bank, after putting in 30 years of service, and they have also been denied REMBS facilities. Let us see whether the Bank ultimately relents to our demands. |

We feel that only Supreme Court can say whether the final verdict will be given on 26.02.13. Our side's arguments were presented and heard on 19.02.13. When the Court asked the Govt representative why the Govt was objecting to our demands, he sought a week's time to present his arguments. This will come up on 26th. It is likely that the verdict will also come up on that day itself. Let us hope for the best.
